If you haven't heard, Christmas is coming. Increasingly (and sadly) this sounds more like a threat. Watching British news and friends alike bemoan the continued importation of Black Friday to their shores (and even seeing traces of it here in the Low Countries) shows how inverted the holiday period has become. But come it must. And the best way to guarantee that is by creating costly, private logistics systems to ensure that hoverboard is there on Christmas morning. Expect to see more American transport infrastructure becoming two-tier: one for the public, one for private mobility.
